She mentions that she's been to the schools to share her experiences. How strong she must be to rehash horrible events. Like a wound that was reopened over and over. Can you imagine how her words must have touched the hearts of the school children who were privileged to hear how brave she was. Amazing testimonies from all those who were generous in opening their hearts through the Shoah Foundation.
What really amaze me and surprise me how all the survivors went on with them lives , and did well as time went on . Some of us go through some difficult times nothing to compare with the Holocaust but somehow we end up screwed up mentally financially emotionally. Strong people survive this messed up world .
Lots of survivors had problems after too you know, success with money or situation does not show how the people are still hurting inside. Sometimes we focus on work and such to try to forget our scars.
Extremely strong people. Alot of them prospered because after that experience they had no fear of anything. They were able to risk all there money to try something and not worry about the consequences because they had already dealt with the worst.
They may have called themselves " Christians" but they weren't !! No true Christian would have acted like that or allowed their children to behave in such a hateful, disrespectful manner ! But they will be punished for how they treated the Jewish people right along with the Nazis ! This Christian says God bless you and thank you for sharing such a horrible experience. 😇
I am determined to watch all of Mrs. Shore’s testimony despite the absolutely Horrible interviewer! I do not say this as an untrained lay person. In my profession, prior to my retirement last year, I conducted many many interviews. The interviewer interrupts Mrs. Shore and asks repetitive and superficial questions. The interviewer needs to stop interfering with Mrs. Shore’s testimony. I am going to continue listening, so grateful that I have this opportunity to hear Mrs. Shore’s testimony.
The coughing and rudeness happens in many of this ladies interviews. She is horrible with these precious people. I watch a lot of these, I cry a lot, and often I cry more for how they are treated after the war than during the war. This lady doing the interview needs to learn what compassion is, respect is, and how to just let them talk. If they get off topic it’s ok, we enjoy their side stories and sometimes it gives them pleasure to remember happy things
@@brharris71she does that in a lot of the videos. I’ve watched probably 3 this week and she’s horrible. James Cameron helps with a lot of these and I wish we had him doing the interviews. He’s far more respectful and let’s them talk freely.
It was a privilege to hear this remarkable woman's testimony. You can tell she is very intelligent. Her mother was so brave to go against the advice of others and go into hiding with her girls. I was so impressed with Ann's zest for life after the war. She was so grateful and happy just to be alive. Her family is beautiful.
Imagine how richly gifted the Earth would be if we still had those people alive. Who knows what could have been contributed to science, religion, education, medicine, business, wholesome family legacies, you name it. We'll never get that chance to know and they will never get the chance to show us.
I agree with the comments below. The presenter has a lack of compassion, abrupt and also asked silly questions which already had been answered by Ann. She definitely needs training but, not only that, a course on manners and courtesy in dealing with traumatized victims.
I am so sorry if my comments were unkind. Thank you for your explanation. My only concern is for dear Holocaust survivers to be treated in a correct way. Thank you for your understanding.
Yes the interviewer is very cold and methodical and lacking in any empathy and yet she is Jewish if her name be actually what she says. She is incapabke of relating as one human being to another human being an THIS among other things is one of the most frightening things that we have in the 21st century to NOT look forward to
People. The interviewer may seem like she is interrupting, but she is doing so to get the historical detail that is so important for 'the record'. Otherwise people (names) and places especially, would be lost to time. This is not simply a 'conversation' - it is a research and archival process. Well done and thank you to Ann, and also to the interviewer for your time and work.
@@richardcarstens9854I understand ,but, sometimes,interviewed take on wrong direction ,and very important things didn’t ask or let us to know,because she interrupted person who talk...thanks anyway for everything to both
Thank you for the humbling privilege listening to your experience. I think the interviewers questions makes the story more real because you can visualise how cold their fingers were knitting or the tiny bit of bread.
It is humbling to hear these brave people speak about things which must be so very difficult It i is unimaginable the suffering endured thhis must never be allowed to happen again ❤
By the time of this interview I can't give her more than 40. Very fine and beautiful woman. I hope she is still alive and well after all these atrocities.
What a phenomenal woman. What a life. Incredible courage. She is humble but she is an amazing woman. And her mother! Wow. I do hope she wrote a memoir! I'm so honored to hear her story. (Gosh, Interviewer, shut up and let this amazing woman tell her story. What are you, a f*cking interrogator!? Shut up and let her speak!!)
Seems like these interviewers should have had some kind of training. I have watched many of these testimonies and over and over again the one giving the testimony seems to get annoyed.
What is this? Jeopardy? Just let the survivors tell us what they remember as opposed to demanding dates/times/motivations etc. Poor empathy from the interviewer here. Cold even!
I see so many focusing on the lack of skills from the interviewer. It annoyed me at times too. It must be easier to degrade the interviewer than to discuss the pain and horror in this story. It's all so unbelievable and heartbreaking. I wish love and comfort to all those who are still living!
The interviewer was disrespectful to this victim, and unsympathetic to her suffering. You're listening to a horrible situation and then to hear someone presently treating her the same as those antisemitic villagers.
But don't you understand? We speak about the disappointment with the interviewer BECAUSE we care about Ann, BECAUSE we want to hear everything she has to say.
Remember... These interviewers are volunteers and a very important part of getting these verbal stories down.. If we learn one thing.. Let us not judge.. Please. Please..
I cant see anything wrong with the interviewer or her technique, she speaks gently and asks questions that produce a full detailed reply from Ann which I thought was the point of these interviews...
The Sound quality is regrettably very poor, there is no option for subtitles. Giving the guest a mic would have been great. There is so so many testimonys I cannot watch from this particular channel due to the very poor quality in Sound production. Very dissapointing. I cant hear them.
You should use earphones and also use both left and right. Because these interviews were recorded in the 90’s they were recorded on two tracks left and right
A very strong, courageous woman, although I'm shocked by her lack of gratitude to the widow and mother of four children who allowed her family to stay in her barn. No doubt, things would have been much worse without her.
Articulate and Beautiful woman. What horror she and her family lived through. I hope her son ended up telling her in detail how she inspired him to embrace his Judaism.
What a beautiful woman...so elegant and beautifully spoken.....such expressive relating of the cruelty of the Polish people...thank God there were some righteous Poles......I salute Ann Shore......wonderful woman.....
The people conducting these interviews are awful. They monopolize the interview in such a way that there’s no fluidity to their stories. Just let them speak and stop asking trivial questions that really serve no purpose. Allow them to tell their story you should just guide them if they need it . Sometimes I just have to click off because it just so annoying. It doesn’t matter “how they got into the shoe business” that’s of lesser importance. .
Very beautiful human being! Strong,.mentally clear minded, gracious, empathetic; + so unique + determined to overcome her early life catastrophes. All this remarkable insight In spite of a lackluster boring interviewer.
They'll delete your comment. I wrote a comment a while back saying that one should consider the woman who saved her placed herself, and her own family, in great danger. She would have been under a lot of stress herself. All deleted.
@@RD-0101 Or maybe you are just an ungrateful, envious Jew who creates such films for the current ideological and political needs of the quasi-fascist government of Israel?
@@comdo831 so pretty much if I understand you correctly the same would go. if a child is abused by their parents, none of the abuse should be acknowledged just that the parents fed and clothed the child. 🤔 I didn’t hear from her anything about not being grateful, but from her testimony she articulates, at least for me unnecessary cruelty from the woman.
@@user-dw7lj8qf9l The audience here is international, not everyone will be familiar with the overall conditions in the occupied countries. I think it would have been helpful to explain the significant risks the host was talking, involving both her and her family. This seems to me especially important since that woman isn't here to tell her story. People need to know everyone is putting own life on the line. There's the deeper moral question how much help and support can you ask or even demand from strangers. Helping a drowning person can be dangerous because that person may drag under the person trying to help. What we get here is a rather egocentric, almost selfish, world view where only one person matters and everyone else is expendable. I can understand a child thinking like that, but from an adult I expect a more balanced approach.
Thank you for the humbling privilege of listening to your testimony.
I will never forget.
What a well spoken, dignified, elegant woman. Such a good speaker with an interesting story
Bless this sweet lady. Thank you for sharing your testimony for the world to hear.
She mentions that she's been to the schools to share her experiences. How strong she must be to rehash horrible events. Like a wound that was reopened over and over.

I think a fair number of survivors committed suicide, Primo Levi & Bruno Bettelheim springs to mind

THE most irritating interviewer ever, such a lack at timing and compassion. She did not know how to listen.
it also annoyed me that she kept coughing into the microphone.

It is insane what some people have lived through. I really don't know how one can go on after living through such insane inhumanity.
Can you imagine, adult men yelling, shouting to a little girl 12 years old pretending to kill her.
I felt so sorry for her
A wonderful testimony. Thank you so much.
THANK YOU SO INCREDIBLY SAD AND SENSITIVE VERY TOUCHING.. BE HAPPY NOW.
Such a beautiful strong lady , I’m so happy to see how many of the survivors went on to have successfull lives x
Imagine how richly gifted the Earth would be if we still had those people alive. Who knows what could have been contributed to science, religion, education, medicine, business, wholesome family legacies, you name it. We'll never get that chance to know and they will never get the chance to show us.
So painful to watch. The cruelty and fear, so hard to imagine.
Beautiful lady with a beautiful smile. It pains me to think what she had to go through
Thank you sooo much Ann ....so very special to listen to you

Aside from the interviewer that is a beautiful lady with a very sad story to tell.
It makes me so angry & also sad that a lot of Christians treated Jewish people horribly.
Another gracious lady who tells her story with such emotion.
Dear Interviewer, you asked questions she answered, sometimes twice. You are a distracted person.
Agree, the interviewer needs to get a bag of cough drops, and to try not slurping the glass of water so close to her mic.
68! I thought she was about 44. Incredible
Thank you for the humbling privilege listening to your experience. I think the interviewers questions makes the story more real because you can visualise how cold their fingers were knitting or the tiny bit of bread.
Such a wonderful interview.
It is humbling to hear these brave people speak about things which must be so very difficult It i is unimaginable the suffering endured thhis must never be allowed to happen again ❤
Beautiful Ann Shore Rest In Peace🌹🙏
She passed away on June 24, 2023

Another interviewer who thinks their questions are more important than the
Survivors story.
yea, like at 56.20 min ...
A beautiful lady.
This should not have happened it is beyond human to treat human beings like this, it breaks my ❤️
This interviewer doesn't seem to pay attention to what this incredibly lady is telling her
Very good. I think she shows strength and courage amid so much tragedy Anne Abraham❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊
Remember... These interviewers are volunteers and a very important part of getting these verbal stories down.. If we learn one thing.. Let us not judge.. Please. Please..
People don't have to be this rude in any circumstance.
I cant see anything wrong with the interviewer or her technique, she speaks gently and asks questions that produce a full detailed reply from Ann which I thought was the point of these interviews...
Once again the interviewer ruins the flow of her testimony. Constantly interrupting. Redundant questions. So frustrating.
I Absolutely agree , some of those interviewers were so poorly trained
I agreevit is not necedsary especiallly when they ask to spell names when they should knoe how to spell names as part of their research
So sad to hear this story...but she came threw it!!
Interviewer was irritating. Had know clue how to let the person talk and ask questions that made sense.
I’m so happy that they made it out alive😓
Superhero, what an unfathomable honor and blessing to know You. May G_d Bless You, bless You!
Can you please let the Lady Talk
A very brave Lady unter this circumstances,how honestly she spoke about this horrible time
The Sound quality is regrettably very poor, there is no option for subtitles. Giving the guest a mic would have been great. There is so so many testimonys I cannot watch from this particular channel due to the very poor quality in Sound production. Very dissapointing. I cant hear them.

This interviewer has no regard for this woman. And the horror she went through. Her dumb questions are really not compassionate.
I had a aunt I never meet name Virgina Cook
She was able to relate her story with interesting memories.
great testimony..it took the interviewer way to long to finally get to her story
Ann was 68 when this interview was recorded
She looks much younger to me, which is amazing with all she went through.
😂 true!
She looks great for 68 wow what she went through Is severely heartbreaking
A very strong, courageous woman, although I'm shocked by her lack of gratitude to the widow and mother of four children who allowed her family to stay in her barn. No doubt, things would have been much worse without her.
Articulate and Beautiful woman. What horror she and her family lived through. I hope her son ended up telling her in detail how she inspired him to embrace his Judaism.

Remarkable
How old is Ann when this interview was recorded?
She was sixty-eight years old in this interview.
She is so pretty.
When was this filmed? Between the 80s and 00s.
Spielberg founded this in 1994 I believe. After he made Shindler's list
It says at the start - March 24 1998
such a beautiful jounglooking lady-imagine!!!she survived such horribilities
Volume too low :(
What a story. Poor people.
yep poor interviewing see this so often
at 2.15.10 : ... and the r.k. killed him ... what was r.k. ? Anyone knows ?
Why ask, how long did the knitting last?
i love the jewish people god bless
I wonder, from a historical perspective, if any of the anti-semitism in Poland stemmed from the anti-semitism in Germany.
Thus interviewer is annoying with her attitude problem with this broken-hearted woman.
I had difficulty in hearing what was being said and the subtitles have been disabled.
@@badgerostripey-one6734 listen with headphones. Much better that way.
Very beautiful human being!
Strong,.mentally clear minded, gracious, empathetic; + so unique +
determined to overcome
her early life catastrophes.
All this remarkable insight
In spite of a lackluster boring interviewer.
This interviewer has absolutely no feelings at all.
The survivor, otherwise, gave an excellent account.
With full respect, but what a nonsense is she telling about the woman who saved her
They'll delete your comment. I wrote a comment a while back saying that one should consider the woman who saved her placed herself, and her own family, in great danger. She would have been under a lot of stress herself. All deleted.

What a terrible interviewer.
USC Shoa be ashamed.
The ukranians were just as bad and were as cruel at the nazis
And some Ungarians, and some Poles, and some French…lots of people just profited without a single care nor any regrets.
